| 757956 | 2009-03-20 01:09:00 | A mate has just got a Mac and has been told he cannot get broadband. He has also been told that if he wants to go on-line he will have to get a dial-up modem. Told that they cost $300.00. That sounds a lot to me. Can he use an ordinary external PC modem such as a Dynalink V1456VQE? Appreciate any replies. | kati kid (14729) | ||

| 757959 | 2009-03-20 02:01:00 | Thanks for the replies. I will take him a Dynalink modem I have and see if it will plug in to his Mac. If it takes a serial plug we will give a go. | kati kid (14729) | ||
| 757960 | 2009-03-20 02:25:00 | "Supplied PPP Script files suitable for OS8 and above only (OS8 does not require script file and the modem will work fine with exisisting system drivers) . FaxSTF requires OS 7.2 and above. Requires standard Mac serial port (not compatible with iMacs or blue G3/G4)" So the support for the model listed is pretty old. |

| 757963 | 2009-03-20 03:40:00 | It must be I suppose. He has just bought it new. Thanks | kati kid (14729) | ||
| 757964 | 2009-03-20 04:20:00 | The Apple external modem is $99, not $300. | maccrazy (6741) | ||
| 757965 | 2009-03-20 06:22:00 | Oh joy. I remember at Orcon we all had a session with a Mac of some kind - and an external dialup modem. So we could advise customers ringing for help with them. No-one could get the thing to work. We gave up and moved on to the far easier broadband modem....... |
